ABOUT BREO ELLIPTA

What is BREO used for?

Once-daily BREO 100/25 is a prescription medicine used long term to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for better breathing and fewer flare-ups. BREO is not used to relieve sudden breathing problems and won’t replace a rescue inhaler.

Once-daily BREO helps increase airflow for a full day

BREO helps improve lung function by opening up the airways in your lungs for a full 24 hours so you can breathe better. Your results may vary.

BREO is a combination of two medicines—an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) medicine called fluticasone furoate, and a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) medicine called vilanterol—creating the first and only once-daily ICS/LABA that helps improve lung function for a full 24 hours. Your results may vary.

BREO helps reduce the number of future flare-ups if you’ve had one before

BREO helps reduce the number of flare-ups, also called exacerbations. This is when your symptoms are worse than usual for several days and require steroids (oral or injectable), antibiotics, and/or a hospital stay. Your results may vary.

YOU COULD GET BREO FREE* FOR 12 MONTHS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

People with asthma who take long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) medicines, such as vilanterol (one of the medicines in BREO), have an increased risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known if LABA medicines increase the risk of death in people with COPD.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

People with asthma who take long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) medicines, such as vilanterol (one of the medicines in BREO), have an increased risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known if LABA medicines increase the risk of death in people with COPD.

Call your healthcare provider if breathing problems worsen over time while using BREO.

Get emergency medical care if your breathing problems worsen quickly, or if you use your rescue inhaler but it does not relieve your breathing problems.

Do not use BREO to relieve sudden breathing problems. Always have a rescue inhaler with you to treat sudden symptoms.

Do not use BREO if you have a severe allergy to milk proteins or are allergic to any of the ingredients in BREO. Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure.

Do not use BREO more often than prescribed.

Do not take BREO with other medicines that contain a LABA for any reason. Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take and about all of your health conditions.

BREO can cause serious side effects, including:

fungal infection in your mouth or throat (thrush). Rinse your mouth with water without swallowing after using BREO to help reduce your chance of getting thrush.

pneumonia. People with COPD have a higher chance of getting pneumonia. BREO may increase the chance of getting pneumonia. Call your healthcare provider if you notice any of the following symptoms: increase in mucus (sputum) production; change in mucus color; fever; chills; increased cough; increased breathing problems.

weakened immune system and increased chance of getting infections (immunosuppression). You should avoid exposure to chickenpox and measles, and, if exposed, consult your healthcare provider without delay. Worsening of existing tuberculosis, fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections, or herpes infection of the eye may occur.

reduced adrenal function (adrenal insufficiency). This can happen when you stop taking an oral corticosteroid (such as prednisone) and start taking a medicine containing an inhaled corticosteroid (such as BREO). During this transition period, when your body is under stress such as from fever, trauma (such as a car accident), infection, surgery, or worse COPD symptoms, adrenal insufficiency can get worse and may cause death. Symptoms include: feeling tired; lack of energy; weakness; nausea and vomiting; low blood pressure.

serious allergic reactions. Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care if you get any of the following symptoms of a serious allergic reaction: rash; hives; swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue; breathing problems.
